A 19-year-old LSU student from Shreveport is being held on a $1 million bond, accused of telling a fellow student that he would kill U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton when she visited Baton Rouge during a campaign stop.

Richard Ryan Wargo, 10301 Evangeline, Shreveport, was booked into Parish Prison on counts of terrorizing, communicating false information of planned arson, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

State District Judge Mike Erwin set the $1 million bond Thursday.

Clinton, D-N.Y., and a declared presidential candidate, is scheduled to be in Baton Rouge Saturday to give a speech during an event with the National Conference of Black Mayors. An arrest warrant for Wargo issued Thursday by LSU Police does not mention the mayors’ conference, or give a specific day or time when the threat might be carried out.

The warrant says a classmate of Wargo’s told an LSU police officer the two students were talking when Wargo made the threat.

Wargo told the other student that he was interested in committing an act of terrorism, and that it would be a "national event," the warrant says. He asked if the other student was interested in participating, the warrant says.

When asked if the act of terrorism was politically motivated, Wargo nodded his head, and said, “Hillary Clinton,” the warrant says.

3. Google doesn't have anything relative on

Rick Wargo, Richard Wargo or just plain Wargo. A search at FR on Wargo turns up nothing. There has to be something somewhere on this guy as a RW nut. They love what they think is the glory and patriotism.

4. With absolutely no information to go on, other than that the kid is

a pot head, I'd bet the "terrorism" planned was the same as was directed at Ann Coulter a few months back -

Cream pie to the face.

Somehow, a pot smoking 19 yr old college kid does not strike me as a typical terrorist type. Not that he shouldn't be looked at, just in case, but really...

as the republican party swirls down the toilet.
